whois
=====
A Python package for retrieving WHOIS information of domains.

Features
=============
 * Python wrapper for Linux "whois" command.
 * Simple interface to access parsed WHOIS data for a given domain.
 * Able to extract data for all the popular TLDs (com, org, net, biz, info, pl, jp, uk, nz,  ...).
 * Query a WHOIS server directly instead of going through an intermediate web service like many others do.
 * Works with Python 3.x.
 * All dates as datetime objects.
 * Possibility to cache results.
